Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 can (8 rolls) Refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1 cup (packed) Fresh spinach
- 1 cup (crumbled) Feta cheese
- 0.33 cup (finely chopped) Sundried tomatoes
- 0.25 cup (sliced, optional) Black olives
- 1 clove (minced) Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 large (for egg wash, optional) Egg
- 1 teaspoon (optional, for egg wash) Water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
In a medium-sized skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the spinach to the skillet and cook for about 2 minutes, stirring frequently, until wilted. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked spinach, crumbled feta cheese, chopped sundried tomatoes, sliced black olives (if using), and dried oregano. Mix well to combine.
Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into 8 individual triangles along the perforations.
Place a heaping teaspoon of the Mediterranean filling near the wide end of each triangle. Roll each triangle up, starting from the wide end and rolling toward the tip to form a crescent shape. Be sure to tuck in the edges to keep the filling inside.
Arrange the filled crescent rolls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly apart.
If desired, make an egg wash by whisking the egg with 1 teaspoon of water. Brush the egg wash lightly over the tops of the crescent rolls for a golden, glossy finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and flaky.
Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm as an appetizer, snack, or accompaniment to your favorite Mediterranean meal.
